ELL Tutoring

Since our origin, we’ve worked with kids new to America.

They’ve come to us from Mexico, Central America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. You know from our SES work how far we can advance your ELL kids. We help students assimilate into our language and culture, quickly and while having lots of fun. We have excellent bilingual tutors and lots of Spanish and bilingual materials.

As important, as with our foster tutoring, we understand the cultures of your migrant students and their families. We’ve long worked within their communities and taken the time to learn what is important to them, their wishes and dreams, and the type of inclusive interaction which makes them comfortably and gladly part of our Tutorific “family.” (Read on to learn about programs designed especially for ELL students such as our “English Conversation Club.”)

English Conversation Club

(3 – 5, 6 – 8, 9 - 12) [1hr] [[d, 2d, or w]] Com, ELA Ongoing club

Designed especially for English Language Learners, the enjoyable yet highly educational club uses role playing in a wide variety of situations to promote vital daily vocabulary improvement, idioms, and correct use of language; even cultural assimilation. Students will be given specific goals in pretend environments including school, stores, the library, on a bus, at a friend’s house, at a party, etc.

They’ll pretend to meet a new friend, solve problems, settle differences of opinion, speak with a teacher, help a parent, etc. Every aspect is guided by our instructor to allow for instant feedback. We build self-confidence and self-respect while improving oral language ability.
